I used to believe that therapists and psychologists are unnecessary
I used to disagree with it but recently I learned that there is a heavy manipulation with the psychologists data. For example, I recently learned that therapist are having gender bias on men whereas they seem to be more sensitive towards women as they happen to be better customers. So I switched to female psychologist for handling my stress. Results is such that the person happened to improve my thought process and life.
Men should go to women psychologists that too with abit of checking and women should go to men psychologist usually doesn't require much checking as they happen to heavily work for them like they are being treated as the customer rather than suffering soul.
But that's just my observation.
I believe this is because the health professional isn't invulnerable to social conditioning. We men have been trained by society to be hard and unsensitive and in turn we also have the impulse to be unsensitive towards men. It happens to me with my brothers. Some time ago I snapped about an issue and I was called dramatic. Since I suffer from mental illness that gave me a real humble dose about feelings and emotions but what can you expect from a person who hasn't, and had endure the full weight of cultural conditioning? Despite my pains, I do believe it will make me a better health professional in the future, or at least, that's my hope.
I have only ever seen a female therapist, which I think I chose because I get along better with women and I value the differing perspectives.
